Very convenient location, you can walk to all the sites from here and there are food and mini mart options just nearby.

Rooms are very clean and service staff friendly.

Breakfast selection is small but delicious. The crossiants and made to order scrambled eggs were excellent. Had the roast goose leg for dinner and it was excellent too.

Nice hotel, definitely would stay again next time in Salzburg!

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is very centrally located in Salzburg. It is on the Main Street but still feels quiet!

The hotel is very clean and we loved our room - it was described as a small room but didn’t feel particularly small to us and we had a lot of luggage! The bed was comfy and everything felt very new and clean.

Housekeeping and service from all staff was excellent. My partner asked for some shirts to be washed and pressed - they did this very quickly and happily. Very impressed.

The breakfast is delicious but expensive (it was not included in our room rate - we would recommend you try to ensure it is included). We ate in the restaurant for dinner one evening and this was very good.

We liked that the room came with umbrellas.

We were really happy to stay at this hotel and we would be very happy to return in the future.

We would recommend this hotel to anyone who is staying in Salzburg.

Went there to eat. Ambient is typical Austrian style, nothing special . Food is okay and very expensive.They also charge 5€ per person for the utensils which I considered not common in Salzburg. I’m annoyed with the service, I ordered tea after main meal and drive us out 10 minutes after serving the tea because the table is reserved for another customer. If they only informed us that we had to moved out asap, I should have not ordered tea anymore. My tea was still very hot and was forced to take it out. Would be nice if they informed us that the table was reserved already and that our time is limited to dine there.

Great choice for our vacation back in June. The location is on spot, the hotel is differently nice and cozy. I would definitely stay in it again!

I would like to thank the staff for the room upgrade, that made us very happy and more comfortable specially with the baby!
